DAKINE Lightning Glove

The DAKINE Lightning glove is a solid all-day cold-weather riding glove. From the outside in, the Lightning is built to last and keep your fingers toasty. DAKINE's Micro-Ridge nylon shell stands up to sharp board edges and whipping trees. The Gore-Tex 3-layer inserts wick perspiration away from skin, without letting outside moisture in, and the Thermoloft insulation provides warmth whether the winds are blowing 50mph or that's how fast you're riding. The glove features a full black leather palm (not shown) that is super durable. DAKINE's pre-curved Rol Bak finger construction gives fingers full range of motion, allowing unrestricted blood flow and warmer hands. Added bonuses include one-handed super-cinch gauntlet closures, removable idiot cords, ladderlock wrist cinches.

Awesome!!!!
Needed a glove that would do the job keep my hands warm and dry. The Dakine lightning glove does the job even in the most extreme temperature. I even use them riding my snowmobile in below zero temperatures.

Awesome glove
Purchased the Lightning glove after trying one on. This is probably the most comfortable and warm glove I have ever worn and I feel it is a bargain compared to the Marmot Ultimate Glove. I like warm hands and must say that even on a day with wind chill at 0 degrees my hand were warm and even hot. The glove is comfortable and the fit is awesome. It is soft and flexible enough to do anything with and the cinch system works well. I would highly recommend it for Skiing and for snow boarding in most conditions.

Training Tips

Anaeroic threshold is when lactic acid starts to build up in your body as your muscles are not getting the oxygen they require. This threshold is typically expressed as a percentage of your VO2 max - the amount of oxygen per kilogram of weight that a person can use in converting fuel to energy. Elite athletes threshold might be as high as 90% of VO2 max.

Efficient running position allows you to run farther and faster. Keep the heel raise to a minimum, relax your upper body and hands, keep your upper body poised and quiet.

If you want to make progess in your training, join a running group. A commitment to meet on a regular basis with a group of like minded individuals will help you keep your focus.

An efficient long distance running stride will have you landing on your heal first and rolling to the front of your toes.
